Court upholds Walmart decision

Modified: Wednesday, Jul 9th, 2014

The City of Atascadero announced Wednesday that the Court of Appeals has issued a ruling in an appeal of a judgement previously granted in the city's favor regarding a lawsuit brought by the group Save Atascadero over a proposed Walmart store at the corner of Del Rio Road and El Camino Real.

The group filed a petition to stop the store from being built over what they say were incomplete environmental impact reports for the project, but Judge Jac Crawford denied the petition in June of 2013, leading Save Atascadero to appeal the decision.

More information will be available in this Friday's issue of the Atascadero News.
